How we serve the Retail Industry

Connect the customer journey – Give them a personalised experience which will earn you loyal and repeat customers.

As retail customers make a dash to digital, channels like social media, web chat and chatbots have never been more important – but for many, the retail Contact Centre isn’t evolving fast enough and customer expectations aren’t being met. Why? Siloed and unintegrated digital channels. All frustrations IPI can mitigate.

We can help you to harness the power of AI, enhancing your operations and transforming your customer experience.

Intelligent automation

Retailers are on a path where using AI is slowly going from being a choice to being a necessity if they want to stay in the game and keep up with consumers. Boost customer satisfaction with AI-powered tools like chatbots and virtual assistants to engage with customers in real-time, provide 24/7 support and offer personalised recommendations.

““Our experience with IPI has continued to be a positive one. The implementation of Genesys Cloud has brought an air of excitement to our contact centre teams, delivering new features and functionality to ease day-to-day roles. Commercially, the transition has been a huge success, driving savings and enabling flexibility through our move to the cloud. Finally, and most importantly, our customers have continued to experience the smooth customer journey that they expect from our brand.””
Lalit Mandalia, Head of Technical Services at Boden

““Under normal circumstances, IPI and Genesys’ speed of delivery would be impressive, but bear in mind that at the time of the system’s migration our teams were dealing with a surge in enquiries across the business – via phone, email and social media. During these unprecedented times, our new cloud-based system from Genesys has enabled us to carry on helping our customers when they need it most. Without IPI and Genesys’ exceptional support, continuing business as ‘normal’ would have been near-impossible, let alone carrying out our additional outreach activities to help vulnerable members of our local communities.””
Adrian Morley, Operational Change and Integration Manager at Co-op

““IPI has been more than a supplier to us – they are a valued partner that will continue to help us meet our goals over the years to come. IPI’s knowledge and expertise around contact centres is unrivalled in the industry, and they both understand the challenges we face daily but also the solutions and services that enable companies like ours to succeed. We look forward to working in partnership with them in the years ahead.””
Paul Kenyon, Connect Services Manager (Data & Voice)
